Having just returned from a mission to Mars, Commander Ross (Justin Lazard) isn't exactly himself. He's slowly becoming a terrifying alien entity with one goal -- to procreate with human women! When countless women suffer gruesome deaths after bearing half-alien offspring, scientist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger) and hired assassin Press Lennox (Michael Madsen) use Eve (Natasha Henstridge), a more tempered alien clone, to find Ross and his brood. Before long Eve escapes to mate with Ross.
Species II

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Clumsily exploitative and sloppily assembled, Species II fails to clear the rather low bar set by its less-than-stellar predecessor.

Increased silliness combats the heightened grotesqueries, resulting in a stale sequel full of potential but failing badly in execution. Go to Full Review

There's probably better acting from the pole huggers at the Cecil than the sorry-ass cast of Species II. Go to Full Review

'It's awful; it's just awful, gasps Marg Helgenberger in one scene of this absolutely abysmal follow-up ... viewers are likely to find their heads nodding in agreement. Go to Full Review

Ron M Apr 25, 2019 Watched it for the first time recently and SPECIES 2 is a sleazy, nasty, grotty exploitation B-movie gem, albeit done with a slick studio sheen. It's rare to see genre movies this unrepentantly trashy and lurid anymore, and the practical effects are incredible and seriously gross to behold. See more
